Hello,
Below you will find the results of my exhaustive search for grants
matching your type. I have put as much work into this question as I
would have for one listed much higher. Even though there are not 20
entries, several of the links have 5-10 grants from the same
organization.
I started researching this without realizing the vast amount of work
involved, but decided to finish. Having not come up with anything new
for the last 10 minutes, it was time to post an answer.
A suggestion I have for you, is to visit your local library and ask
the reference desk for some good books on grants, or they might have
access to an electronic database listing grants. There are several
good ones available (costing $100 and up) and they will probably have
a few. There might be a few entires below not matching your exact
description, but I have done my best.
Here goes:
1) Instrumental and Classical Music
Next Deadline: Grant applications for the 2003/04 Fiscal Year will be

2) Chamber Music America

4) The Millay Colony for the Arts
Quick InfO: Many of the artists at Millay are here early in their
careers, others at a mid-point when they need to be refreshed, and
still others have come to us in their eighties. What all of our
artists have in common, in addition to their talent, is the need to
exist for a month in "art's unbounded time" and in the privacy of the
studio where artists are alone with their work.
